Trimbakeshwar Temple History

The story of Sage Gautam is connected to the history of the Trimbakeshwar temple. The area was said to have been a Tapobhoomi during the Satya Yuga, a time when Sage Gautam and other Rishis and Munis (Sages) lived here. He and his spouse Ahilya stayed at Trimbak.

There once was a severe drought that caused a water shortage around the world. Sage Gautam prayed to Varuna, the god of water. After hearing his requests, the god Varuna presented him with a water tank that would never run out. The Rishi cultivated vegetables, wheat, and other crops with this water. The other sages living there were then fed by him.

After a while, a few other sages became jealous and desired to speak before sage Gautam. To send a cow to the Rishi’s fields, where it would eventually die they prayed to Lord Ganesha. But the sages had been warned by Lord Ganesha that this would not end well for them. Nevertheless, he sent a cow out into the field. When sage Gautam noticed it, he scared it by throwing the Darbha grass. However, the cow died in the field.

Sage Gautam and his wife Ahilya performed Tapasya for Lord Shiva. Shiva gave Ganga the order to descend to Earth because he was pleased with their dedication.

The Ganga River originated on the Brahmagiri hill and was captured by sage Gautam in what is now known as Kushavarta, a pond. He bathed in it to purify himself. Known today as Godavari and Gauthami, the river was formerly known as the Dakshin Ganga.

Then sage Gautam asked Lord Shiva to establish his place of worship here with the other Gods and the Godavari. After recognizing them, Lord Shiva became a Linga and remained there.
